Really awesome!

Reston, VA (February 2, 2016) The Washington D.C. Area Marine Aquarist Society, Inc. (WAMAS) has donated $25,000 to Coral Restoration Foundation and has become a Patch Reef Sponsor. The generous donation from WAMAS will directly support the Intern Program at Coral Restoration Foundation and provide one intern position over the next two and a half years.

This donation comes directly from the proceeds of our hosting MACNA 2015 last fall. We are very pleased and excited to be able to offer meaningful support to Coral Restoration Foundation and their leading-edge conservation program to protect and restore at-risk reef habitats. And we hope that, by making this donation, we will inspire other clubs and future MACNA teams to consider similar, philanthropic gestures. said Tom Land, WAMAS President.

Coral Restoration Foundation CEO, Scott Winters, states, The generous gift WAMAS has provided to the Coral Restoration Foundation is an important step in advancing our education outreach. Our intern program is a unique educational opportunity for the next generation of science-based conservationists. We are honored to partner with WAMAS and hope that it inspires others to commit to conservation focused education."

Goes to show how much money there is in Saltwater also.
They must have made so much that they would lose their NP status if they didn't do something.

They gave away like 5 times more than we made total hosting the ACA in 2011
